Sam observed the direction at which the knives are pointed at and roughly estimated the possible trajectories, there are very few blind spots and it hard to completely stay in a zone where there is no threat of these knives.

Sam, came back to his senses and when he saw the red-hot condition of the arms of the puppets, he aimed his hands and sprayed water on them.

The whole suddenly was full of steam. The young lady frowned. Even though the steam didn't hinder her spiritual sense much and Sam could be sensed easily, she felt distracted by the sudden addition of steam and it is a bit frustrating.

She tried to concentrate on the battle and what greeted her was the Sam is using the same tactic again and again. He is only trying to dodge and every time, he gets to hold the puppet, he is heating it and once he was forced to release by a flying knife or attacks from another puppet, he would spray the puppet with the water releasing the steam.

This continued for a dozen times and the young lady was even getting annoyed.

But suddenly, Sam's style changed.

He didn't use heat anymore. As the sword puppet made his way towards him while the sword emitted a concentrated sword ray, Sam dodged it and placed his hand on the back of the puppet.

The palm was placed squarely on the back and he gave the puppet a slap.

Suddenly, the metallic disc inside Sam's palm reacted and the Ash meteorite sand threads formed web similar to that of a spider's web.

The web spread on the back of the puppet and as soon as Sam pulled back, it cut through the metal and web caught a chunk of metal with it.

In a second, there is a hole on the back of the puppet and Sam thew the chunk of the metal in his hands into the spatial ring as the web retraced back into the metallic disc.

This is the new addition he made for the web.

As for how, a low-grade Ash meteorite sand pierced through the rank-6 metals, it is due to the constant heating and rapid cooling.

When Sam scratched and attacked the puppets a few times, in the beginning, he noticed that they are extremely resistant to any form of abrasion, it is difficult for him to cut through them.

So, he opted to basic chemistry. If metal is rapidly heated and even more rapidly cooled, it will become brittle as the grain structure will be damaged due to constant expansion and contraction. There will be a small crack that would appear in the metal and those small cracks are all he needed.

The sword puppet can barely move and it can definitely not move its arms as he pulled out the mechanism that is running its hands completely.

He placed his hands inside the cavity and used his claws to get a hold of a joint and tore it apart from inside.

No, only two puppets remained. But reaching the sabre puppet is not an easy task because the third puppet is not as passive as before. The knives were being shot at him and Sam noticed something when a knife was pierced into a wall.

The wall seemed to have corroded a bit and the knife fell down. Then only he noticed the floor. The knives are capable of corroding the floor too.

Sam's expression grew serious. For now, the knives are only being thrown at the place where he was standing giving him a chance to dodge, but that situation wouldn't remain long, if the knives flew from all the directions, then he would have trouble dealing with them

As he was thinking of ways to deal with them, he noticed that he is near the sabre puppet, but not in the way he wanted.

His back is facing the sabre puppet and the thick sabre light stuck him squarely on the back.

He was barely able to inject the fire elemental energy into the feathered coat to activate the feathers which stopped the blade to cut through, but he wasn't able to dodge the full brunt of the attack.
